Magic URL Coupon for WooCommerce

Magic URL Coupon for WooCommerce

By Naked Cat Plugins

Description

Want to share a WooCommerce discount link that automatically applies a coupon? Magic URL Coupon lets you embed any coupon code directly in a URL — perfect for email campaigns, affiliate links, and social media promotions.

When a customer visits your store via the magic link, the coupon code is stored in a cookie for a configurable amount of time. No manual code entry needed.

Pass the coupon via the mcoupon URL parameter (customizable via the magic_coupon_url_parameter filter). While the cookie is active:

  • Discounted prices shown upfront — eligible product pages display the post-coupon price automatically, so customers see exactly what they’ll pay before adding to cart;
  • Custom promotional message — show a personalized HTML message under the product price, anywhere on the page via hooks, or inline via the [magic_coupon_html_message] shortcode;
  • Coupon auto-applied at checkout — when the customer adds a product to the cart, the coupon is applied automatically, no code entry required;
  • The coupon remains freely usable: customers can still enter it manually at any time, and this plugin will not restrict its regular usage.

Variable product support is experimental and may be moved to a premium add-on in the future.

FAQ

Can I change the URL parameter name from `mcoupon` to something else?

Yes. Use the magic_coupon_url_parameter filter.

Can I show the HTML message somewhere else on the product page?

Sure you can. Use the magic_coupon_html_message_action_hook filter to change the hook and the magic_coupon_html_message_action_priority filter to change the priority.

If you don’t know what we’re talking about, you should probably stop now and hire us to do it for you 🙂

You can also show it directly on the product description by using the [magic_coupon_html_message] shortcode.

Is it possible to add dynamic information to the HTML message?

You bet! Use one of the following placeholders on your message:

  • {product_id} will be replaced by the Product ID;
  • {coupon} will be replaced by the coupon code;
  • {cookie_expire_timestamp} will be replaced by the cookie expiration Unix timestamp;
  • {cookie_validity_minutes} will be replaced by the cookie validity in minutes;
  • {cookie_validity_hours_minutes} will be replaced by the cookie validity in hours or minutes (in the x hours or x minutes format), depending on the validity being more or less than one hour;

You can also add you own placeholders with the magic_coupon_html_message_replace_tags filter. See an example here.

And because you can also use shortcodes on the HTML message field, you can feed the product id, coupon, the cookie expire timestamp or validity, or any other variable you set via your own placeholders as a shortcode argument, you can do whatever you want with your custom message. Go crazy, or hire us to develop a custom solution for you.

Can this plugin have issues with caching plugins?

Yes. The page output has to be changed to set the discounted product prices based on the user cookie. That’s incompatible with a server-side caching system.

We set the following constants to prevent caching by some plugins, on the moment the customer reaches the page with a coupon code:

  • DONOTCACHEPAGE
  • DONOTCACHEOBJECT
  • DONOTCACHEDB

This will ensure the page with the discounted price is not cached on that moment (and no other users will see a version of the page with the discount), but will not disable the cache that might already exist.

Anyway, we’ve experimented a bit with the WP-Optimize “Cookies which, if present, will prevent caching” setting, by entering the name of our cookie (mcoupon by default), and we had good results. Regular users see the cached page and the ones with the coupon set on the cookie see non-cached pages.

Is this plugin compatible with the new WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage?

Yes.

Is this plugin compatible with the new WooCommerce block-based Cart and Checkout?

Yes.
